- Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (Diwygiedig)
- Gwreiddiol (Fel y'i Deddfwyd)
Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol).
(1)This section—
(a)applies where a person (B) rejects or is deemed to have rejected an offer to make amends made under section 13, but
(b)does not apply to the rejection or deemed rejection of a qualified offer (see section 17).
(2)It is a defence to defamation proceedings brought by B against the person who made the offer (A) that B rejected the offer (or is deemed to have rejected it).
(3)The defence is not available if (at the time of making the statement complained of) A knew or had reason to believe that the statement—
(a)referred to B or was likely to be understood as referring to B, and
(b)was both false and defamatory of B,
but it is to be presumed, unless the contrary is shown, that A did not know and had no reason to believe that this was the case.
(4)Where A relies on the defence under this section, A may not rely on any other defence.
(5)The offer may be relied on in mitigation of damages whether or not it was relied on as a defence.
(6)In this section, a “qualified offer” is an offer to make amends made under section 13 that is made only in relation to a specific defamatory meaning which the person making the offer accepts that the statement conveys.
